Let’s be honest ☕

Written By The CG Sports Co

Good morning. We need to talk about resolutions.
Let's be honest, New Year's resolutions can be a sore topic by the end of January. The newness of the year has worn off, the glitter of the holidays has officially settled, and work is back to the grind. All of this can make it hard for us to focus on our New Year's resolutions, many of which tend to be more "big picture" goals.

So how do you achieve your resolutions? 

  • Set small, manageable goals. It can feel daunting to think about our resolutions. One way to tackle the "how will I ever achieve this?!" feeling is to break your goal down into smaller monthly (or weekly) goals. If you

  • Look at the big picture. Remember that the small goals you set help you to reach your larger goals. If your goal is to compete in an Ironman Triathlon, brainstorm and plan a week-by-week training plan that will best prepare you for your competition.

  • Record your progress. It can be tough to remember everything you have accomplished one month, two months, six months down the line. One way to remember how much progress you have made on your goals is to keep track of your daily/weekly accomplishments.

  • Celebrate success. Reaching your goals (no matter how small) is worth celebrating. If you goal was to move $1,000 into your savings, but at the end of the month you moved $700, you still made progress towards a financial goal. Celebrate it!

At the end of the day, remember to be kind to yourself as you work towards your resolutions. As the old saying goes, Rome was not built in a day!

DEMAND YOUR BRAND
Interview Follow-Up

You had your interview. Palms were sweaty (knees weak, ____*), posture upright, arms relaxed with a smile on your face. You brought your resume, gave your best, most confident responses, got to know your interviewer, and exchanged some humorous moments and a firm handshake or two. First of all, well done.

Next steps:

  • Follow up within 24 hours and thank the interviewer for their time. Include a personal note based on your conversation or something for them to remember you by and associate you with in a positive light.

  • Express interest in the position.

  • Call out a particular reason you think it would be a good fit or a project you are particularly excited about.

With that, the ball is no longer in your court! Continue to network, research and prepare yourself for your dream job. :)
